The general manager of the San MateoCounty Harbor District told the DailyJournal Monday he should have “known

better” than to approve t ravel expenses fora trip a co mmissi oner made in February.

“I went with my experience but I shouldhave defaulted to district policy,” GeneralManager Steve McGrath said Monday aboutapproving a $1,057.40 expense submittedby Commissioner Sabrina Brennan for atrip she made in February to Morro Bay toattend a California Coastal Commissionmeeting.

Brennan did not att end the meeting o n theboard’s behalf and none of her fellow com-missioners were informed she would attendand that the district would pay for it.

“It seemed important . It had statewide sig-nificance,” McGrath s aid about the meetingwhere the Coastal Commission fired itsexecutive director Charles Lester. Theexpectation was that Brennan would report

back to the board on what transpired at themeeting.

McGrath approv ed payin g for the trip butit was President Tom Mattusch who shouldhave approved the expense, according todistrict policy.

“Steve is new. It fell through the cracks,”Mattusch said Monday about reimbursingBrennan.

McGrath was well intentioned but maynot have had access to the district’s “entirerule boo k, ” Mattusch said.

Brennan has still n ot reported to her boardabout th e Coastal Commission meeting.

The full commission approved theagency’s bills and claims last week andCommissioner Virginia Chang Kiraly ques-tioned the expense after Brennan pulled theitem off the consent calendar.

But the commissionvoted unanimously any-way to approve reim-bursing Brennan alongwith all the other billsand claims at its March

16 meeting.Chang Kiraly said thefull board should havebeen informed about themeeting and that othercommissioners shouldhave been given theopportunity to attend.

Since Brennan was notspeaking on behalf of the board and since theboard took no positionon whether Lester shouldbe fired, the districtshould not be on thehook to pay forBrennan’s expenses,Chang Kiraly saidMonday.

To Brennan, themoney should not be anissue.

She told the DailyJournal she wasn’t surewhat the board’s po liciesare related to reimburse-ment.

She said, however, hertrip was not a secret and

the meeting was relevant to the district.She also has not had the opportunity to

report to the b oard about the meeting sincethere has been a push in recent months toend Harbor District meetings earlier, shesaid.

She was going to attend the meetingregardless o f whether th e dist rict paid for it.

“I was going to pay myself,” she said.

So far, sh e has yet to b e reimbursed by theHarbor District and is not sure yet whatshe’ll do with the check when it comes inthe mail.

“I might stick it in a drawer somewhere,”she said about whether the commission will

formally ask her to return the check. Shemay also donate it to a nonprofit, s he said.Brennan, who has been on the board for

about four years, said she didn’t rememberwhat the board’s policy was previouslyrelated to reimbursements.

She questions, however, why it’s an issuenow since the board unanimously voted toapprove the expense last week.

“Once I approved it, I wouldn’t revisi t it, ”Brennan said. “This is not newsworthy. It’sme being picked on.”

Chang Kiraly, however, contends herconcern is about accountability and trans-parency.

“This is not good governance. It’s anunjustified expense,” she said. “The moneyall adds up.”

The district will revisit its p olicies relat-

ed to reimbursements at a future meeting,said McGrath, who was hired to his posi-tion about six months ago.

But Brennan said the full board shouldmake the decisions about trips and expens-es rather than just the president of theboard.

“We are equal commissioners. Beingboard president doesn’t give you specialpowers. This i s no t a monarchy. We need todecide on p olicies tog ether on the b oard,”Brennan said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Aspace station supply ship i s set toblast off Tuesday night with acommercial-quality 3-D print er forastronaut as well as public use —

for a price — and the makings fora large-scale fire.

Don’t worry: The blaze is forscientific purposes o nly and won’tignite until the unmanned craft isclear of the International SpaceStation at mission’s end. NASAproject manager Gary Ruff saidthis blaze will be second in sizeonly to the 1997 fire on theRussian Mir space station, whichwas caused by a defective oxyg en-generating canister.

Orbital ATK’s capsule, namedCygnus after the swan constella-tion, holds nearly 8,000 poundsof station supplies for NASA.

Space station delivery richin science and technology

FIRE ON BOARD

NASA will deliberately set a fire inside the trash-packed Cygnus cargo ship, once it leaves thespace station in May and is a safe distance away.Researchers want to understand how a firespreads in weightlessness — how fast and howbig does it get? The goal is to improve fire safetyon future spacecraft.An electrical igniter will beused to light a yard-long cotton-fiberglass sheetinside a box. The burn should last 15 to 20minutes, with a pair of cameras recording theflames and sensors making measurements. Aweek or so later, the capsule will burn up asplanned over the Pacific.The test is called Saffire,short for Spacecraft Fire Experiment.3-D SPACE PRINTS ANYONE?

 This new 3-D printer is an update to onelaunched to the space station in 2014.NorthernCalifornia-based company Made In Space saysthe new printer is bigger and better. The firstprinter created items no bigger than an iPhone,this new printer will churn out items as big as aniPad mini.It will be controlled from the ground,with minimal input from the astronauts. Theintention is to make 3-D items as needed for real-time use. But the company also is leasing theprinter for groups interested in creatingcustomized 3-D items in space.Some of the itemswill be returned to Earth aboard SpaceX Dragoncapsules,according to the company.METEOR SHOWERS UP CLOSE

A new camera will provide high-definition videoof meteors entering Earth’s atmosphere.It shouldbe ready to go well before the Perseids meteorshower in August.Southwest Research Institute’sMichael Fortenberry and his team want toanalyze the chemical composition of incomingmeteors. This is the third attempt to get theexperiment to the space station; the first wasdestroyed in an Orbital launch explosion in 2014,the second in a SpaceX launch accident last June.SLIP-SLIDING AWAY

A spacecraft landing on an asteroid will need toanchor itself to avoid floating away, given theexceedingly low gravity.The question is:Will theanchor stay put or yank free? Researchers hopeto better understand the loose, gravelly asteroidsurface with a NASA experiment known as Strata.

 They’ve pulverized a hunk of meteoritediscovered in Africa to simulate the surfacematerial found on airless asteroids; 400 gramsare on board.Silica glass shards also are makingthe trip, along with other materials stored intubes, so researchers can see how they movearound in weightlessness.GECKO GRIPPERS

LOS ANGELES — A much-antic-ipated court hearing on the federalgovernment’s effort to force Apple

Inc. to unlock the iPhone used byone of the shooters in the SanBernardino terror attack wasabruptly vacated Monday after theFBI revealed it may have a way toaccess data witho ut the co mpany’shelp.

Federal prosecutors made thesurprising announcement on theeve of Tuesday’s hearing in U.S.District Court in Riverside,California. In court papers theysaid the FBI has been researchingmethods to access th e data on Sy edRizwan Farook’s encrypted phonesince obtaining it on Dec. 3, theday after th e attack.

“An outside party” came forwardover the weekend and showed the

FBI a possible method, the gov-ernment said in court papersrequesting the hearing be post-poned. Authorities need time todetermine “whether it is a viablemethod that will not compromisedata” on the phone.

If viable, “it should eliminatethe need for the assistance fromApple,” according to the filing.

The government did not identifythe third party or explain what theproposed method entailed.

Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym

granted that request and ordered thegovernment to file a status reportby April 5. Pym also stayed herFeb. 16 o rder compelling Apple tocreate software that would disablesecurity features on the phone,including one that erases all infor-mation if a passco de is in correctlyentered more than 10 times.

In a conference call withreporters, Apple attorneys said it’spremature to declare victory in t hecase because it’s possible thatauthorities could come back in afew weeks and insist they stillneed the company’s help. Theattorneys spoke on condition theywouldn’t be identified by namebecause the case is still pending.

The company hop es the gov ern-ment will tell Apple ab out whatev-er method it uses to access thephone’s encrypted files. But theattorneys said it may be up to theFBI to decide whether to s hare theinformation.

WASHINGTON — PresidentBarack Obama on Mo nday directed

the federal go vernment to come upwith a less reactionary and morelong-term strategy for dealingwith drought.

About 12. 5 percent of the conti-nental U.S. was experiencingdrought as of mid-March, saidAlice Hill, a key Obama aide onthis is sue.

That translates into more than39 million people, or about one-eighth of the U.S. population,living with drought in the lower48 states, mostly in the West andwith much of California sufferingthrough its fifth year of dryness.

Obama issued a presidential

Drought affects the food supplyand infrastructure, hurts the econ-omy and increases energy costs,according to the action plan.Drought conditions are alsoexpected to become increasinglymore severe due to climatechange. Combating climatechange is a top environmentalpriority — as well as a legacyissue — for Obama, who has tack-led the matter on a variety of fronts.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah voters onTuesday will navig ate a new presiden-tial caucus system that comes months

earlier than last time and opens theRepublican race to online vo ting withcomputers, smartphones or tablets.

Unlike in some past presidentialcampaigns, the state of Utah is notpaying for a primary election thisyear, leaving the parties to set up theirown systems.

Democrats are holding a traditionalpaper vote, but to boost participa-tion, the Utah GOP is offering o nlinevoting in addition t o the usual ballot.It’s on e of the first prominent uses inthe country of online voting, whichpresents new security and privacychallenges for officials.

State Republican officials saythey’re confident in their processbecause it’s been used for nationalelections in o ther countries.

Some questions and answers aboutUtah’s presidential caucus sy stem:

CAUCUSES VS. PRIMARY?Utah’s GOP-dominated Legislature

decides every four years if it wants topay about $3 million for a state-runpresidential primary or leave the con-test to the parties. This time, UtahRepublicans decided to run their ownelection, scheduling it the sameevening party supporters were already

to gather at neighborhood caucuses toelect state and local officeholders.With Utah Republicans deciding to runtheir own contest, lawmakers didn’twant to foot an election bill and leftDemocrats to run their own caucuses,

too.

HOW DOREPUBLICANS PARTICIPATE?

The Utah GOP caucuses are onlyopen to Republicans, who can voteonline, in-person at their neighbor-hood caucus meetings, or by fillingout an absentee ballot and havinganother caucus-goer deliver it to ameeting, along with a copy of thevoter’s ID. The evening meetings aretypically open for about two hours.Republicans h ad to declare to the partyby Thursday that they would partici-pate by voting online. Once partyofficials verified their registration,voters were emailed a 30-digit PIN to

enter when casting their vote. Theonline voting system is open from 7a.m. to 11 p.m. local time on Tuesday.

HOW DODEMOCRATS PARTICPATE?

Utah’s Democratic caucuses are opento all vo ters, but they can only partic-ipate by attending a neighborhoodmeeting and casting a ballot. Themeetings run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p .m.local t ime. Votes will be accepted fromanyone in line by 8:30 p.m.

IS ONLINE VOTING SECURE?

James Evans, the Utah RepublicanParty chairman, said party officialsinterviewed six companies to admin-ister the system before awarding an

$80,000 contact to London-basedSmartMatic, which has set up onlinevoting in the small country of Estonia. Evans wouldn’t explain thespecifics of the system or how hethinks it’s safe from security breach-es. He contends traditional voting hasmore risk of fraud. “How do I knowthat somebody in the county clerk’soffice isn’t messing with the voteresults?” he asked. “I think there’s agreater likelihood of that than any-thing else.”

Mark Thomas, Utah’s director of elections, said state officials studiedonline v oting last year and noted thatwhile security is a concern, even falseclaims of hacking could throw resultsinto question. While people bank

online and file taxes online, Thomassaid, elections officials aren’t quiteready to adopt online v oting. He saidTuesday’s vote by the GOP will givean initial taste of what it might looklike when government eventuallyadopts the p ractice.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Republ icans Donald Trump, Ted Cruzand John Kasich are vying for 40 del-egates; Democrats Hillary Clinton andBernie Sanders are competing for 37.

WASHINGTON — A front-runner under

attack from all sides, Republican DonaldTrump demanded that his party’s skepticalestablishment embrace the inevitability of his presidential nomination as he stormedinto Washington on Monday. Democratsresponded by debuting a multi-prongedassault, shifting their rhetoric andresources against the man they expect toface in a contentious and ugly general elec-tion campaign.

“If people want to be smart, they shouldembrace this movement, ” Trump declared ata news conference, shrugging off passio n-ate resistance to his candidacy from bothparties.

“I’m an outsider,” Trump said. “They’renot used to thi s.”

As he often is, Trump was dogged byprotests. A group of rabbis said they were

boycotting his evening speech to a pro-Israel lobbying group as protesters gath-ered outside.

Democratic presidential front-runnerHillary Clinton touched off her party’sfresh anti-Trump campaign during a morn-ing foreign policy speech to the AmericanIsrael Public Affairs Conference, question-ing the former reality television star’sreadiness to guide the nation through deli-cate international entanglements.

“We need steady hands,” Clinton toldthousands at the pro-Israel gathering. “Nota president who says he’s neutral onMonday, pro-Israel on Tuesday and who-knows-what on Wednesday because every-thing’s negotiable.”

Israel’s security, sheproclaimed, “is non-negotiable.”

Trump kindled criti-

cism from Republicans aswell as Democrats earlierin the year when hepledged to be “sort of aneutral guy” on Israel.While the U.S. is offi-cially neutral in theMiddle East conflict, hisstatement marked arhetorical departure forU.S. presidential candi-dates.

Getting a secondchance to face pro-Israelactivists, Trump onMonday promised therewould be “no daylightbetween America and our

most reliable ally, the st ate of Israel” in h is

administration. But he also repeatedlyreferred to “Palestine” instead of the“Palestinian territories” as he read fromprepared remarks, using a term many pro-Israel activists opp ose.

Rival candidate Ted Cruz, following himat th e conference, jab bed Trump for t hat ref-erence, saying Palestine “hasn’t existedsince 1948.”

Clinton and her allies have readied athree-prong ed effort again st Trump that tar-gets his character, credentials and contro-versial statements about women andminorities. That began in earnest onMonday, with labor unions, members of Congress and the presidential candidates allescalating their criticism.

WASHINGTON — A federal judge hasasked the Obama administration to shieldfrom public disclosure court records relatedto t he once-secret criminal his tory of a for-mer Donald Trump business partner.

In an unusual order prompted by an

unsealing request from the AssociatedPress, U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogansaid that unless the Justice Department actsbefore April 18, he will decide whether tomake the court files public under theassumption that federal prosecutors don’tcare.

The case involves Felix Sater, a Trumpbusiness ass ociate who pleaded guilty in amajor Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme inthe late 1990s and cooperated with thegovernment. The AP reported in Decemberthat, even after learning about Sater’sbackground, Trump tapped Sater for a busi-ness development role in 2010 t hat includ-ed the title o f senior adviser to Trump, andhad an office in the Trump Organization’s

headquarters.Sater’s criminal past

initially drew attentionbecause of his ties toTrump, now the front-runner for theRepublican presidentialnomination. But legaldisputes over informa-

tion related to Sater’sefforts to cooperate withthe government — which was ongoing dur-ing the p eriod he worked with Trump — alsoraises questi ons about court secrecy.

“It seems to me that the go vernment h as aunique interest in keeping documents thatrelate to cooperation agreements underseal,” Cogan wrote in his order. “The gov-ernment should speak and assert its posi-tion as to whether the public’s right toaccess each document in the record is out-weighed by a compelling need for secrecy.”

Lawyers for the AP had asked the judge to just ify seali ng a five-year crimin al con-tempt proceeding in U.S. District Court forthe Eastern District of New York.

Stressed Out? Use These TipsTo Relieve Your Daily Anxiety

BRUSSELS — A keen-eyed witness whospotted a pale, slender figure fleeing an

apartment near a Brussels auto plant oneweek ago set in motion a vast poli ce dragnetthat within 72 hours led to the capture of Salah Abdeslam, the most-wanted man inEurope.

Another key — if unwitting — helper inleading authorities to the hideout of theirhigh -value quarry was a pal lbearer at the bur-ial of the fugitive’s brother.

Abdeslam is being held in a Belgian high-security prison, with France seeking hisextradition so he can stand trial for hisalleged role in the Nov. 13 rampage of gun-fire and suicide bombings that killed 130people.

The 26-year-old Frenchman was arrestedFriday after being run to ground by investiga-tors in the same gritty Molenbeek neighbor-hood of Brussels where he grew up. Much

remains unclear about Abdeslam’s move-ments in the four months h e managed to eludeauthorities multiple times.

“We’re still far from completing the puz-

zle,” Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic VanLeeuw ackno wledged Monday.

The fugitive’s luck began to run out on theafternoon of March 15, when a six-memberpoli ce team showed up to search an apartment

believed linked to the Paris attackers, accord-ing to government and security officials.The joint Belgian-French search party

thought the residence near an Audi factory insouth Brussels was vacant because the waterand power had been turned off for weeks. Butas soon as they opened the door, they werefired on from inside by at least two peoplewielding a Kalashni kov assault rifle and a riotgun, officials said.

In the melee, four police officers wereslightly wounded, and two occupants of theapartment managed to slip away, reportedlyvia the rooftop.

One witness got a good enough loo k at oneof the escapees to describe him to a policesketch artist, said Ahmed El Khannouss, thefirst deputy mayor of Molenbeek.

The portrait that resulted “bore a very

strong resemblance to Salah Abdeslam,” ElKhannouss said. Forensic scientists foundAbdeslam’s fingerprints in the apartment.

There also was the body of a suspected

Abdeslam accomplice who was shot andkilled by a police sniper as the gunman pre-pared to fire on police from a window, alongwith a Kalashnikov, a stockpile of ammuni-tion, and a banner of the Islamic State

extremist group.That’s what Belgian authorities made pub-lic. What they didn’t disclose, said formerFrench intelligence agent Claude Moniquet,

was that they also recovered cellphones thatquickly told them who the apartment’s occu-pants had contacted.

Now that his cover had been blown, “theworking assumption of the police was that

Abdeslam would go to a place he knew,” saidMoniquet, director of the Brussels-basedEuropean Strategic Intelligence and SecurityCenter.

LONDON — British Prime Minister DavidCameron sought Monday to impose disci-pline on his warring Conservative Party,after a Cabinet resignation — ostensiblyabout unpop ular welfare reforms — blew thetop off simmering divisions over theEuropean Union.

Cameron, who has staked his politicalfuture on keeping Britain inside the EU, isdue to face the House of Common s later in asession that’s meant to be about last week’smigration summit in Brussels.

However, the resignation of Work andPensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smithmeans the debate will likely be dominatedby welfare cuts and especially Europe — anissue that has divided the Conservatives

since Britain joined theEU in the 1 970s.

Duncan Smith, whohas pushed through bigchanges to the country’swelfare system over thepast six years, dramati-cally quit late Friday,accusing the govern-ment of targeting thepoor for cuts while pro-

tecting pensions for the better-off. He saidlast week’s budget, which included a 4 bil-lion-pound ($5.8 billion) cut to disabilitybenefits, was the last straw.

“I am passionate about trying to improvethe quality of life for those in difficult cir-cumstances,” Duncan Smith said Sunday.

OPINION 9Tuesday • March 22, 2016 THE DAILY JOURNAL

By Herb Perez

In January, our Foster CityCouncil held our annual poli cymeeting. As mayor, along with

our city manager and the council, wecrafted a streamlined agenda withlaser-focused outcomes. This was adeparture from past practices and waswelcomed by the council, staff andcommunity. We created a sho rt lis t of priorities for the coming year andhanded these off to council-staff sub-committees to develop action itemsfor implementation. The council hasadopted a business-like approach toour daily policy considerations and isfocused on deliverables impactful toour residents and busines ses.

We have decided to engage the vari-ous stakeho lders in our community ina series of roundtable dialogues ratherthan from the dais in a one-way con-versation. In this way, we can fosteropen communication between our res-idents and businesses directly withour staff and council.

As part of this new policy, Foster

City held its first ever BusinessRoundtable th is past week. This cameto fruition in response to what hasbeen perceived as a historic discon-nect between our local businesses andour city’s s taff and processes. We cre-ated a format that was engaging ,responsive and conversational. Wewanted to hear the unfiltered voices of business and absorb their perceptionsof our city and more importantly,what they thought about doing busi-ness i n our fair city.

The council and staff visi on to cre-ate a dynamic, engaging and interac-tive environment was accomplishedwithin a spirit o f cooperation about

what is good forthe business com-munity and the cityas a whole.

I am fortunate tolive in our city andserve as mayor;however, I als oown and operate abusiness here and

in five surrounding communiti es. Thisprovides me with a unique and perhapsbiased poin t of vi ew; however, I canstate with some certainty that doingbusiness here in our city is far betterthan in many others. By way of exam-ple, it too k me over six months toobtain a building permit in a similar-ly situated city this past year. Thesame process took me two weeks inFoster City, and that was 10 yearsprior. Regardless, o ur city can alwaysimprove upon our services and com-munication methods.

The day st arted with a series o f updates and framing of the v ariouscity departments that interact withbusiness. We welcomed over 6 0

diverse types and size businessesfrom one-person operations to majoremployers including Visa. We thenbroke into focus groups in roundtablediscussio ns so each would have directconversation with each area of focus.

The conversations were engaging,lively, frank and productive. We alllistened respectfully and judgment-free. Business and staff shared posi-tive comments and critique and bothwere welcomed and noted. I think allattending would define the day asvery successful and productive, avaluable and good use of time. Theoppo rtunity to s it at a table andshare openly with your elected offi-

cials and city staff is in valuable.As mayor and a member of our coun-

cil, it has been my personal policy weneed to be proactive in our efforts toaddress th e issues that concern ourcommunity in real t ime. I am proud tosay our staff is diligent and respon-sive in creating solutions th at get usto yes . This i s a sharp departure frombureaucratic machines that read anordinance or codebook and start withno. It is important to remember thatbehind each business big or small arereal people who have chosen toinvest in our community. Theiremployees live, work and play in ourcity and contribute to th e intangibleamorphous quality of life we value.

This initiative is the first in a seriesof direct communication efforts i nthis new format. We choose t o do this

because we can. Our city is profes-sionally managed while still main-taining a small town feeling. Our staff is accessible and known by name bythe majority of its residents. Any res-ident can write or call and will receivea response. That is customer service.

In recapping the roundtable, we arelooking for a community that desiresto be part of the solution to complexissues and continues to make contri-butions to make our city great. Ourexpectations are high and I look for-ward to continued dialogue.

 Herb Perez is the mayor of Fost er City.

Engaging for the future A moment of silencefor the 40th first lady

President Ro nald Reagan is regarded one of t hemost in fluential p residents i n recent memory.Among h is greatest achievements, he imple-

mented poli cy initi atives that made poss ible a wave of small businesses throughout the country. He workedclosely with Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev tobring down th e Berlin Wall, which sowed the s eeds forthe decline of th e Soviet Union and the end to a decades-long Cold War amongst world powers. Reagan alsostrength ened our national defense by giv ing our mili-tary the n ecessary resources to ensure the safety andsecurity of th e American p eo-ple at h ome and abroad.

Beyond those achievements,few recognize the powerfulrole Reagan’s wife Nancyplayed behind the scenes inguiding his path. In fact,behind his every challenge andaccomplishment was th e guid-ing hand and voice of NancyReagan.

Take the assassi nationattempt o n President Reagan’slife just one y ear after his elec-tion . Min utes after addressing the Building andConstruction Workers Union at t he Washing ton Hiltonin downtown Washing ton, D.C., a man fired severalshot s at Reagan — one of which pierced his chest .Battling the prospects of a potentially fatal wound, thecountry witnessed Reagan withst and the inj ury as apois ed comedian. Reagan’s first questio n to the doctorsand nurses assigned to his aid was quite unexpected:“Are you all Republicans?” The country witness ed thisevent, his swift recovery amidst such a turbulent time,and quickly grew to love t he man for his overwhelmingopti mism and charisma.

Throughout this tumultuous time, Nancy Reaganclasped the president’s hand, assuring him that h is part-ner in life would not leave his side or give up hope forhis recovery. For the next several months, NancyReagan spent nearly every waking moment with herhusband to ensure his recovery.

Following the assassination attempt, the first ladytook on one of her most important roles in acting as thepersonal prot ector of her husband. Henceforth, she ana-lyzed and verified every aspect of th e president’s travelplans and itinerary to ensure his s afety. Nancy Reagangrew to play such a large role in the president’s day-to-day affairs that s he was coined a new nickname — the“Dragon Lady” — for the powerful influence she had onthe presidency.

The 40th first lady’s accomplis hments were not l imit-ed to supporting her husband’s presidency. In th e early1980 s, she sp earheaded a “Just Say No” campaign thatencouraged American youth to refrain from using drugs.Her efforts led to the passage of “The National Crusadefor a Drug Free America Act of 198 6. ”

The former first lady’s contributions as a public ser-vant did not cease upon her exit from the White House.She establish ed the Nancy Reagan Foundation i n 19 94to urge support for addition al after-school programs thatencouraged young adults to refrain from using drugs.

After a lon g b attle with Alzheimer’s, President Reagandied in 2004. This fueled Nancy Reagan’s desire to advo-cate for stem-cell research to find a cure for the diseasethat is the six th leading cause of death in the UnitedStates. Beyond that, s he has been hono red with manydistinguished awards for h er limitless support for p ublicservice.

It is quite clear that witho ut the unwavering support of the president’s life partner, h e would not likely haveseen the success he achieved in the Oval Office. Let ustake a moment of si lence to h onor t he former first lady,her accomplis hments as a lovin g wife to the president,and her public s ervice accomplis hments in dependent of her husband.

Reflecting on th e legacy of the 40th president andfirst lady reminds us that we find our full p otenti al inlife with the unwavering support of o ur loved ones. As abrother, si ster, mother, father, husband or wife, weshould each st rive to s upport one ano ther the way NancyReagan supported her husband.

Foster City’s economic develop-ment agenda appears to be driv-en by th ree basic misconcep-

tions . These strongly held misconcep-tions are being used to justify swiftaction by the City Council.

The misconceptions:• It is bad to be dependent on proper-

ty taxes;• Our expenses are growing faster

than our revenue; and• Diversifyi ng cit y revenue is crucial

to our ability to sustain our quality of life.

Misconception No. 1: Foster City istoo dependent upon property taxes.This misconception has been aroundsince the passage of Proposit ion 13. Ithas been repeated so often it hasbecome the mantra for city officialswho seek increased revenue to expandgovernment.

Property t ax revenue made up 53 per-cent of total general fund revenue in FY2015-16. But, here’s why being toodependent on PTR is a misconception:

• Four of the cities in San MateoCounty rely more heavily on PTR thanFoster City (Atherton, Hillsborough,Woodside and Pacifica). Housing pricestell us these are desirable cities to livein. Relying on property taxes is com-mon in California where PTR can be up

to 86 percent of a city’s revenue;• Cities that rely more on property

taxes usually differ from Foster City —they are more residential. This is theresult of differing l and use, and the typeof city planned. Large city infrastruc-tures need more revenue. The key i sdeciding what k ind of city we want tobe;

• Property taxes are a stable form of revenue. Sales tax or hotel tax revenuefluctuates based on business condi-tions;

• Our PTR has been growing becauseof the increase in housing prices,assessments, turnover and new devel-

opment;• Twenty-year pro-

 jections by ourFoster CityDepartment of Finance show thatPTR is expected tocontinue to growfaster than othersources of revenue.

If correct, we will become more depend-ent upon property tax, and that’s OK.PTR growth is a good thing.

In FY 2015-16, PTR is expected tobe 53.1 percent of revenue. By FY2034-35, the percentage is expected togrow to 59.9 percent.

Misconception No. 2: Our expensesare growing faster than revenue.

The misconception is that the citycurrently spends more than it takes inand is expected to continue to do sointo the future. It is a belief that has nofactual foundation .

The city i s in excellent financialshape, with a healthy reserve and nobonded indebtedness. We can credit cur-rent and past administrations.

The latest city projections show rev-enue rising faster than expenditures inmost years. The Foster CityDepartment of Finance projects thatexpenditures will not exceed revenue,even 20 y ears int o the future. Inflationand wage costs are muted. Unless theseprojections are wrong, the city will

not spend more than it is taking in.Department o f Finance projections

through FY 2034-35 sh ow general rev-enue expenses at 86.9 percent o f rev-enue (including new development) inFY 2015-16, rising to 91 percent infive years, then to 92. 2 percent by FY2025-26, and 95.9 percent by FY2034-35.

Property tax limitation and themethod(s) of sharing revenue sourcesmay be a statewide structural problem.Any necessary legis lative remedy willlikely come about before any l argenumber of California cities goes bank-rupt.

It is s imply in accurate to assert thatour city’s business model is unsustain-able, either because of our relianceupon property taxes or because ourexpenses will outpace our revenue.

Misconception No. 3: Diversifyingthe city’s revenue is crucial to our abil-ity t o sustain our quality o f life.

It is always wise to diversify revenuesources but it is not “crucial.” Refer tomisconceptions No. 1 and No. 2. Weshould focus on maximizing return oninvestment from existing assets beforeembarking on new large projects. Whydiversify into retail if we can’t getvalue from existing shopping centers?

Foster City is differentIn our city, we have many homeown-

er associations that pay for their ownstreets, sewers, streetlights , etc. TheHOAs pick up a lot of the costs thatother cities pay for. HOAs substantial-ly reduce city costs. This gives Fos terCity a huge financial advantage overour neighbors.

Conclusions:• The city is expected to experience a

larger percentage of total revenue fromPTR as time passes;

• PTR is projected to increase fasterthan o ther revenue;

• Projected expenditures are notexpected to exceed total revenue evenout as far as 20 years in the future.

Misconceptions can lead to bad deci-sions. Let’s depend on the facts. Amore detailed report can be accessed atcushmansite.com/cgi/misconcep-tions.pdf.

Major U.S. stock indexes ekedout modest gains on Monday,extending the market’s winningstreak int o a fourth day.

Stocks wavered into the red attimes before steadying in the lateafternoon. The price of oil alsoveered lower at times, but endedhigher.

Investors had their eye on thelatest batch of company deal newsand new data on housing that senthomebuilders broadly lower.Telecommunications services andhealth care stocks were among thebiggest risers.

Monday’s action builds on themarket’s five-week string o f gainsand suggests an improved outlookby investors since the market’srocky start to 20 16. Worries aboutthe global economy p rompted theFederal Reserve to slow the paceof interest rate in creases th is y ear.

“Investors have really come toterms with the fact that recessionrisks are receding in the U.S., andthat certainly was helped by theFed action last week,” said MikeBaele, senior portfol io manager atU.S. Bank Wealth Management.“We likely move sideways untilwe get some clarity on earnings.”

The Dow Jones industrial aver-age rose 21.57 p oints, or 0.1 per-cent, to 17,623.87. The Standard& Poor’s 500 index added 2.02points, or 0.1 percent, to

2,051.60. The Nasdaq compositegained 13.23 points, or 0.3 per-cent, to 4, 808.87.

Thanks to st eady gains in recentweeks, the Dow is up 1.1 percentfor the year, while the S&P 500index is up 0.4 percent. The

Nasdaq is down about 4 percent.Stocks had appeared to be head-

ed for a down day early Monday.Homebuilders fell broadly fol-

lowing a report indicating thatsales of previously occupied U.S.homes sank 7.1 percent lastmonth. The trend could weigh onhomebuilders, many of which relyon buyers who must sell theirhome before they can purchase anewly built one. William LyonHomes was among the biggestdecliners. The stock shed 72

cents, or 4.9 percent, to $1 3.88.Several companies rose on deal

news.Starwood Hotels & Resorts

CUPERTINO — As it strugglesto match the success of its big-screen iPhon es, Apple is n ow con-tending that small can be beauti-ful, to o.

The giant tech company s howedoff downsized versions o f its sig-nature iPhone and iPad Pro tableton Monday, hoping they’ll

appeal to first-time buyers andthose who have shied away fromthe bigger-screen models Applehas sol d in recent y ears.

At a time when overall smart-phone sales are slowing, Appletouted its new four-inch iPh one SEas the “most affordable” newphone the company has offered.While it comes with an upgradedcamera, faster processor and otherfeatures, the SE has a startingprice of $400, or $50 less than theolder iPhone 5S that it’s replac-ing. By contrast, the iPhone 6SPlus, which had been Apple’s

newest and biggest phone, startsat $750.

The company also knocked $50off the price of its Apple Watch,showed off some new bands forthe wearable gadget, andannounced some softwareenhancements for its mobiledevices and the Appl e TV sys tem.

Apple’s spring product eventcame one day before the tech g iantis set t o square off with autho rities

in federal court over the FBI’sdemand for help unlocking a massshooter’s encrypted iPhone. Thedispute has dominated headlinesin recent weeks, as Apple CEOTim Cook acknowledged in brief remarks at the opening of Monday’s event.

“We did not expect to be in thisposition, at odds with our owngovernment,” he said. “But webelieve strongly that we have aresponsibilit y to help you protectyour data and your privacy.”

Few of Monday’s announce-ments surprised industry experts.

NEW YORK — Happy birthday,Twitter.

The social media site famous forhashtags and a 140-character“tweet” limit turned 10 years oldMonday, having evolved fromwhat was originally billed as a“microblogging” site into one of 

the Internet’s most influentialmeans of communication.

The world’s first tweet, whichwas sent by co-founder JackDorsey on March 21, 2006, read“just setting up my twttr.”

When Capt. ChesleySullenberger safely landed a dis-abled US Airways plane with 150passengers into a frigid HudsonRiver in January 2009, witnessestweeted photos of passengers

being rescued from the floatingplane. At the time, it seemedunthinkable that Twitter didn’texist just a few years earlier.

Now presidents — and the Pope— have Twitter accounts.

But after a long streak of robustgrowth that turned it into one of the Internet’s hottest companies,Twitter’s expansion has sloweddramatically ov er the past y ear anda half.

STANFORD — Lili Thompson had to forgether miss that could have cost Stanford its sea-son. There was still time left.

“You kind of hear it growing up, you have tohave a short memory,” Thompson said.

She delivered when it mattered most.Thompson converted a go-ahead three-pointplay with 8 .2 seconds left before Erica McCalldelivered a big block moments later, liftingNo. 4 seed Stanford into the Sweet 16 with a

66-65 comeback win

against 12th -seeded SouthDakota State on Mondaynight.

Stanford needed everylast tick of the clock toextend its long run of regional semifinalsappearances to nine.

McCall swatted MacyMiller’s shot in the key

with 1 second left to seal it. Thompson, whomissed a 3-point try with 18 seconds to go,

made a driving layup with 8. 2 seconds left and

converted the free throw as t he Cardinal eraseda five-point deficit over the final 3 minutes.“She is the one. You want the ball in her

hands,” McCall said of Thompson. “She isclutch. This girl is crazy good.”

What a finish for Tara VanDerveer’s team inthe 1,000th game at Stanford for the Hall of Fame coach.

The Cardinal (26-7) will face Notre Dame onFriday in the Lexington Regional.

VanDerveer even hated to see South DakotaState’s special season end considering how

hard the opponent played. And with so much

passion.“Tonight we played against a team that exe-cuted really well, a team that was extremelywell coached and a team that put their heart onthe floor,” VanDerveer said. “Honestly, I wishthey’d been in a different bracket because itwas sad to see them lose when they had playedso well.”

Menlo senior Hannah Paye, seen here sinking a 3-pointer earlier in the postseason, producedanother of her 212 career treys in the final minute of last week’s Nor Cal semifinal win.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In four years with the Menlo Schoo l girls ’basketball team, sharpshooter Hannah Payeconverted 212 times from beyond the 3-point line.

It was the final trey she scored on her homecourt that capped her legacy.

While the Knights would go on to lose theNorthern California Division IV champi-

onship game Saturday, it was a clutch HannahPaye 3-pointer that got them there. In lastTuesday’s Nor Cal semifinal game against St.Mary’s-Albany, the senior guard produced thegame-winning trey with 57 seconds remainingin regulation to send Menlo to a 47-46 victory.

Hannah Paye’s long-range heroics havealso earned her Daily Journal Athlete of theWeek honors.

“Hannah has made so many 3s, it’s almostlike she’s a better shooter from beyond thearc,” said John Paye, Menlo’s head coach andalso Hannah’s father. “So if she’s going toshoot, that’s the one you want her to shoot. ”

Menlo wasn’t exactly looking for a 3-pointer with the game on the line. Trailingby 2 with a minute remaining in regulation,the Knights drove into the paint but lost thehandle on the ball. A scrap for the loose ballensued with Menlo forward MacKenzieDuffner coming up with it.

Duffner instinctively looked to the pointposition and locked eyes with Menlo’s all-time leading 3-pointer shooter. And eventhough sh e received the pass well beyond thearc — John Paye estimated the distance of the sho t to be 22 feet — Hannah Paye didn’thesitate t o l et the fateful rainbo w jumper fly.

“I guess when I shoot I don’t really thinkabout shooting,” Hannah Paye said. “It wasmore I knew the ball was coming and I knewI had shoot it. ”

The dramatic victory had quite anaudience. In attendance among oneof Menlo’s largest crowds of theyear were four players from the1991 team — the last Knights teamto reach th e Nor Cal finals — Laurie

Stucker, Stephanie Nichols, CarrieLedbetter and Hannah’s aunt KatePaye.

The foursome was part of a Menloteam to three-peat as Nor CalDivision V champs from 1989 -91.In 1990, in a 62-52 win over archri-val Sacred Heart Prep, Kate Paye setthe all-time single-game record fora Nor Cal Divis ion V championshipgame with 3 3 po ints. She would goon to play at Stanford, where shewon a title for the fourth straightyear, as the Cardinal brought homethe national championship herfreshman season.

No one, however — not evenKate Paye — can compete withHannah Paye’s Menlo career recordas a 3-pointer shooter. Throughouther four-year varsity career, HannahPaye made 382 s hots. Of those, 212

were 3-pointers.The curious

thing aboutHannah Paye’stechnique is sheshoots left-handed, despitebeing a naturalr ight -hander .When she start-ed playing the

game in grade school she shotrighty, but come middle school she

started favoring the left to gain anadvantage against defenders.

Despite th e objections of her jun-ior-varsity coach upon arriving atMenlo, Hannah Paye continued torefine her lefty approach. She evenrecounted her first weeks of p racticein which the coach would have herwear an over mitt on her left hand toforce her to shoot from her naturalside.

Ultimately, Hannah Paye did ither way. And by the start o f the var-sity season, she was promoted tothe varsi ty squad as a freshman. Therest, as they say, is hist ory.

The historic run included a three-peat of her own as Menlo capturedthree consecutive Central CoastSection Division IV titles from2013-15. This year, however, the

Knights earned the draw in the CCSOpen Division bracket, where theyran into a pair of West CatholicAthletic League powers, falling inthe opening round to Sacred HeartCathedral and being eliminated inthe consolation bracket by St.Francis.

“I think, for us, it helped us,”John Paye said. “For the Nor Calgames, it really got us game ready.We had two competitive games. …So playing them, we got b etter. And

we didn’t have as many games, somaybe it kept us a little fresher forthat game against St. Mary’s.”

Saturday’s Nor Cal title game wasa bittersweet end to the varsitycareers of Hannah Paye and herthree senior teammates — Duffner,Olivia Pellarin and Angel Okoro.The Knights went up against an oldfoe in Cardinal Newman-Santa Rosaand got dominated on the boards bythe Cardinal’s junior twin towers of 6-3 Hailey Vice-Neat and 6-5 LaurenWalker to fall 51-32 at AmericanCanyon High School.

“I think we were really proud of how far we did go,” Hannah Payesaid. “We did it together at the endof the day. Even though we were sadwe did lose … we were happy withhow we did in the tournament. Sothat was the important thing. ”
